Existing law establishes the jurisdiction of the juvenile court, which may adjudge a child to be a dependent or ward of the court under certain circumstances. Existing law authorizes only a juvenile court judicial offer, when a child is adjudged a dependent child of the court and has been removed from the physical custody of the parent or placed in foster care, to make orders regarding the administration of psychotropic medications for that child or minor. Upon approval or denial by the juvenile court judicial officer of a request for authorization for the administration of psychotropic medication, existing law requires the person or entity that submitted the request to provide a copy of the court order approving or denying the request to the caregiver.
